Standards, Rules, and Tips
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you read all TABS on this page thoroughly before beginning your science project.
Adult Encouragement: We encourage parents, teachers, and friends to provide support for each student's science fair project, as all students deserve encouragement of their efforts. However, help must be limited to encouragement, suggestions, and advice.
The actual experiment and exhibit must be the work solely of the student.
How to enter: Use the online pre-registration form on this website. All entries must be submitted by
February 07, 2020 Late entries may be disqualified or rejected. Final acceptance will be at the discretion of the 2018 CRC Invitational Science Fair committee.
Classification of exhibits: Each exhibit may be entered in a single category only; fair officials reserve the right to reclassify an exhibit at their discretion. The division in which an exhibit is entered is automatically determined by the
student's grade level in school.
Specifications:
-
Exhibits may be entered in the CRC Invitational Science Fair by any student in grades 5 through 12 attending public, private, cyber, or home school within Franklin or Delaware Counties.
-
Partnered (two or three-person) exhibits are permitted; however, they will be judged and awarded separately from individual entries.
-
Exhibits must be confined to a space not to exceed 32" wide, 30" deep (front to back), and 108" high. The weight may not exceed 250 lb.
-
Live animals must be properly cared for during experimentation; no live animals may be displayed at the Fair.-
Neither the entrant's name nor photograph may appear anywhere on the exhibit. Cover any other faces in photos with paper during judging.
- If your project requires a computer display, you are responsible for providing the computer.
Safety:-
Exhibits deemed to be unsafe are not permitted. In particular, dangerous chemicals, open flames, explosives, and live animals are strictly prohibited. All bacteria and molds must be in proper containers and thoroughly sealed. All foods, including seeds and animal body parts, must be in sealed bags or other sealed containers.
-
All electrical circuits and equipment must be properly insulated and protected from contact by the public.
-
Other facilities, such as water or compressed air, must be provided by the exhibitor and must not pose public hazard. All liquids must be in closed containers.
-
Every effort will be made to protect exhibits against loss or damage, but all projects are entered at the risk of the exhibitor. CRC team is not responsible for any loss or damage.
Judging: Judging will take place on
Saturday Morning, February 16th, 2020. Decisions of the judges are final, and judges may make or withhold awards in any category or division. Exhibits are judged on the basis of originality, scientific approach, clarity, workmanship, and the appearance and appeal of the display.
Awards: Trophies will be awarded to all categories 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners. All Superior level projects (Composite Score:36 out 40) will be eligible for Next Level /District Level Science Fair Competitions.
Here are ten tips for taking home that trophy!
1. Start early. Good projects take time.
|
| 2. Pick a topic that matters and that really interests you. Talk to friends, teachers, and parents about a topic. Visit
the websites on this page "Resources" Tab for ideas, or visit a good bookstore and buy a book of science fair project ideas. |
| 3. Begin with a question about your topic—something you don’t know and want to find out. |
| 4. Discuss your idea with your teacher to be sure it’s a good choice before you begin. Then plan your work carefully.
Decide what materials and equipment you’re likely to need and what procedures you will follow. Develop a hypothesis—an educated guess—to answer the question you’ve posed. |
| 5. Follow the scientific method to investigate your topic and answer your question. Follow it wherever it leads; there are
no “wrong” answers. Prove or disprove your hypothesis. Consult with your teacher whenever you can. |
| 6. Keep a careful record of your work in a notebook. Collect data, write down what you do, describe your methods, draw
diagrams. Make your notebook as complete and as readable as possible. |
| 7. Choose a title for your exhibit that clearly describes your work. Resist the temptation to be clever and “punny.” |
| 8. Prepare an effective exhibit to present your work. Your backboard display must be neat, well organized, well
written, and interesting. Use photos, drawings, data charts, and other visual aids as appropriate. On the table in front of your backboard, place your notebook and other items
used in your project. If judges must operate something, provide clear instructions. |
| 9. Follow all size and safety rules when designing your exhibit. Make certain that neither your photo nor your name appears
anywhere on your exhibit. Pre-register your exhibit before the announced deadline (the earlier the better). |
| 10. Have fun! A good project is one you enjoy doing as well as you can and sharing with others. Not everyone will
win the trophy; but everyone can do a good job, learn a lot, and have fun doing it. |
Registration is closed for 2020 CRC Science Fair.
